Meet Our Dental Team Parker
A Team That Is Committed to Your Smile
Many dental offices look at their patients as numbers. Unable to recall names, they spend more of their time getting as many people in and out as possible. You won’t find that at RidgeGate Dental of Parker. Instead, our long-standing Parker dental team believes in caring for more than just your smile. We want to get to know you as a person. We view you as a member of our dental family, which is why we will stop at nothing to make sure you remain comfortable and well-informed about your dental care.
Diane R., Dental Hygienist
Diane has worked as a dental hygienist for over 35 years. Throughout her career, she has found great joy in the relationships she has built with both our patients and fellow staff members. She received her degree in Florida where she was elected President of the Junior American Dental Hygiene Association. She is currently a member of the Willow Creek Study Club and has experience working in pediatric and periodontal offices in addition to certifications in local anesthesia and laser treatment.
Diane has been married for over 40 years, and she and her husband are grateful for their three grown children and four energetic grandsons. Diane enjoys family time most of all, and she also likes to go running and camping, make quilts, and volunteer with her church.
Jessica, Office Manager
Jessica loves being part of a team that wants to genuinely help people with their dental needs and excels at doing just that! She spent the first ten years of her career working in endodontic and oral surgery practices in Denver and has enjoyed the transition to general dentistry.
Jessica has been married to her wonderful husband for 25+ years, and they have a full Sausage Squad made up of three miniature dachshunds-Frank, Olive, and Pippa. She donates a lot of her time to a Christian Ministry, and when she has a rare afternoon or evening off, it usually consists of relaxing with dinner and a movie.
Jansen, Front Desk/Treatment Coordinator
Originally from Salem, IL, Jansen studied at Kaskaskia College for her dental assisting certification before attending John A. Logan for her Associate with Science in Dental Hygiene. After graduating, she worked at several orthodontic offices before joining our team. With close to a decade of experience in the dental field, her favorite part of her job is being able to create a positive and lasting impact on people’s lives. Not only can they change their smile and boost their confidence, but they can even enjoy greater overall health in the process.
Away from the office, Jansen is married to her wonderful husband, and together they are raising two young sons. Her husband’s career in the United States Air Force has allowed their family to travel and experience different parts of the country. At home, life is joyfully busy—whether she’s chasing after her toddler, caring for their newborn, or playing with the family’s beloved Morkie. When she finds a quiet moment, Jansen enjoys relaxing with an iced coffee and a good book. She and her family also love spending time outdoors, especially going on walks to take in the beautiful Colorado weather.
